I’d expect Miami to throw a lot more full on switching at Philly tonight than usual
Probably not right away
But that’ll be the initial adjustment to flattening them out – 7:11 PM

Credit to Jaylen, who’s having his best defensive season in years, picking up LeBron with Holiday needing to play LeBron. #Celtics have used Holiday on matchups like Davis, Giannis, Embiid since Smart, Grant left over the summer and Horford moved to the bench. – 5:53 PM

This Raiders upset win in KC means that with a 1-1 finish, Miami is assured of finishing no lower than the No. 2 seed…. Dolphins can clinch No. 1 seed by winning out OR winning at Baltimore AND a Baltimore loss in SF tonight and a Cleveland loss at home to Jets. – 4:06 PM

The hope was that Jimmy Butler would return from his calf injury tonight, but an illness set his rehab back a bit. The expectation is Butler will return during the Heat’s West Coast trip that begins later this week. – 3:46 PM
